Christmas sock/hat day!
Cold and Flu season are upon us! Take steps to keep your family healthy this season. Remind children to cover coughs and sneezes with an elbow and to wash hands with soap and warm water for 30 seconds. A big thanks to our school nurse, Kristen Maxedon, for helping our kids stay healthy!
Fifth Grade Christmas Fun
Kindergarten loves tacky sweater day!

Third grade classes enjoyed Christmas story time with Mr. Shepard and Dr. Richardson. There's nothing like a good book to get in the Christmas spirit!
Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students have been working hard in PE during our Locomotor Challenge! 🚶♂️🏃♀️✨
They practiced listening, following directions, and performing their locomotor skills—walking, jogging, running, skipping, galloping, hopping, and jumping—to earn their very own Locomotor License.
Great job, students! We are so proud of you! 👏

5th Graders working together on vocabulary.
💥 Ninja Jump Rope Challenge + Golf Skills in PE! 🏃⛳
Our 4th and 5th graders crushed it in the Ninja Jump Rope Challenge! Students worked hard to complete consecutive jumps and advance through the jump-rope levels: 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200. Each time a student reached a new level, they proudly signed their name on the matching poster in the gym.
We even had a few teachers jump into the fun!
We also introduced golf skills to our 2nd–5th graders through the First Tee program. Students practiced putting, and our 4th and 5th graders explored driving and chipping. It was a few weeks of building coordination, confidence, and new skills!
